Although honey is a lot of health benefits, it should not be given to infants less than one year because of the risk of infant botulism. Babies under one year do not have a digestive system completely matured and are susceptible to food poisoning botulism.
Infant botulism is a type of food poisoning caused by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can cause death. Botulinum bacteria spores are widespread in nature and honey tends to host more than other foods.
